I can only assume you haven’t read this article, then:

I felt that way once, but the more momentum that #metoo gets, the more I see its scope and am grateful to be here to witness it. Women- all women, even those that haven’t been raped- have had to live in this disgusting world and put up with it for way too fucking long, and our habitual degradation isn’t going to stop…

Are we talking about the comments or the article itself? Because yeah, the comments were a total shitshow. But the article itself didn’t seem to be cutting Ansari any slack- in fact, within the first few sentences it reiterated that he ignored her verbal and non-verbal cues to stop. My read on the article was that it…

It’s about time for this song to make a comeback:

Goddamn how is this so hard to understand!? I’m lucky to have never felt traumatized by anyone’s treatment of me, but I’ve been in a million situations like this and it’s not until the last year that I’ve actually begun to understand the enormity of the power structure in place that leads to it. And I’m (again, LUCKY…

The idea that a man can’t be expected to understand that a woman repeatedly pushing him off, repeatedly moving away from him, telling him he’s moving too fast, that she doesn’t want to hate him for feeling forced- that NONE of these things can be understood by the poor, simple, male brain, is fucking absurd. Women…

I don’t know- when I think of Marie Antoinette, I think of a naive child who was killed for other people’s sins. I, too, cringed at giving Ivanka Trump that much sympathy. It’s a poor comparison because it reinforces the “innocent bystander” image that Ivanka is trying to cultivate. I’m glad it got called out.

But how many of those people are involved in politics? Politics kinda attract bad people in general, and I still feel like Franken might be the best we’ve got in our current pool... Happy to be proven wrong if someone has a good suggestion for a new Minnesota senator.

That was driving me crazy- She did a wonderful job and being nervous is completely understandable, but I kept thinking how much less she would have to struggle if someone had simply suggested to print it out!

Woody Allen met Soon-Yi when she was NINE years old! I really don’t understand how anyone can even look past this fact. He met her when she was fucking nine years old, and after a few years started dating her. That’s goddamn disgusting no matter what his legal relationship was to her.

It’s like Cher from Clueless trying to fake her way through an interview about a job she doesn’t actually have.... and I would totally watch this movie.

All things considered, we are discussing a show that centers around a town sheriff who has a 13 year old homeless runaway locked up in his cabin in the woods, where he’s forbidden her to leave or contact anyone, and his ex-girlfriend who’s got her 13 year old son tied up in a shed, being subjected to heat-torture, all…

You’ll love this book, then. Written by a professor of philosophy and octopus researcher, it’s an in depth exploration of octopus intelligence and how it relates to us as humans:

I came here to say exactly this. It’s not a joke- I am scared of anyone who expounds at length about the brutal ways that women are murdered. Even if they’re saying it in the context of “Oh, how horrible that x,y,z,and abcdefg indescribably violent thing happens to women,” they are usually fixated on the details for a…

I mean god forbid we have too many solo female performers!! Who ever asked “Why do we need Neil Young, when we have Bob Dylan?”

Edited: Nevermind I guess I should’ve read the damn article first

Okay, I understand this is definitely not for everyone, but some women are actually turned on by the fantasy of rape, and saying “stop” or “no” but continuing to be fucked. It’s a wild world we live in. With such people, they might have a conversation with a trusted partner about acting out this scene, which is where…

That moment about three minutes in, where he says “I have to qualify it or else you’ll say I was lying!” = “It’s definitely going to come out that what I just said wasn’t actually true...”

I have a knee-jerk reaction against Kathy Griffin, and I think she blew this whole thing the second she apologized, but I really don’t understand why everyone’s acting like she crossed the line with this image. Burning/hanging/beheading in effigy is such a time-honored tradition that we have a standard phrase for it.…

I’ve seen a few comments along this line, and (pardon if this is a stupid question; I am pretty stoned right now) I’m not getting why Lebanon- whose government was responsible for the decision- would have any stake at all in publicity for the movie? What do they gain from strategic publicity for a movie they’re not…
